Just substitute Great Pumpkin with new Stones album.Just substitute Linus with us.

STUPID? What do you mean "stupid"? Just wait till next year, Charlie Brown. You'll see! Next year at this same time, I'll find a pumpkin patch that is *real* sincere and I'll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He'll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he'll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I'll be waiting for him! I'll be there! I'll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch... and I'll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see, Charlie Brown. I'll see that Great Pumpkin. I'll SEE the Great Pumpkin! Just you wait, Charlie Brown. The Great Pumpkin will appear, and I'll be waiting for him...

Soon the bags will be packed and the packs bagged.Less of the fags (ciggies) maybe, now they're in their mid to mid-late middle-ages, or beyond, but think of the beats, riffs, weaves, tinkles, vocals and so forth that will unfold.Hairy days.

Per a couple of interviews with Keith and Ronnie in the last 24 hours (see separate threads), the Stones will be going back into the studio next week in Los Angeles.

anything come of it or did they blow it off?

I have totally lost track.....

>Have they started it?>Are they finishing it?>Do have a song count?>Do we have an ETA?>Is it just a couple of new songs (ala D&G)?>Will we hear a new song during NF pt3?>On a scale of 1-5, how close is this to becoming reality?

Guitarist also says the band’s legacy is on their mind this time: “It has to be written in a different way, whatever the ending is.”

By PATRICK DOYLE

“I’m OK, man, as usual — freezing!” says Keith Richards, calling from his home in Connecticut on a recent January afternoon. The guitarist is checking in to talk about the 30th anniversary reissue of Talk is Cheap, his classic album with his solo project the X-Pensive Winos, which is out March 29th (a deeper story on that album will come closer to release). Richards has a lot more happening in the next few months. The Rolling Stones kick off their first U.S. stadium run in four years on April 20th in Miami — but before that, Richards reveals, the band will return to the studio for about a week to continue work on their first album of original songs since 2005’s A Bigger Bang. “I’m preparing more than anything else, putting material together,” he says.

This is good news for fans, who were alarmed late last year when guitarist Ronnie Wood hinted that work had stalled on the album, which was already in progress. “Mick and Keith wanted to make sure the songs were really good, so we’ve sort of taken a step back again,” said Wood. Around the same time, Richards said he wasn’t sure when the band would get back to work.

But Richards spent his holidays taking stock of the material. He describes the process: “Sometimes it’s not as much writing as listening to what’s been written and figuring it out, and honing and all kinds of stuff.” He trails off and laughs: “It’s very boring. It’s like a carpentry shop.”

Richards says it’s “perfect timing” to hit the studio before the tour. He’s extremely excited for the U.S. run, which includes New Orleans’ Jazz Fest and multiple nights in New Jersey and Chicago stadiums. “It’s what I do,” Richards says, adding that the country holds a sentimental place dating back to their breakthrough in 1964. “To play back in the States again, it’s fantastic. It’s been a while. I always think of it as our really early hunting grounds. Although we had already done it in England, to work over a whole continent was pretty astounding. So I’ve always had a soft spot for working in America.”

Stones tours often begin with a surprise club show, a dream scenario for fans. “I’m hoping,” Richards says when asked about the possibility of one. “We haven’t in the last couple of tours. We still wanted to. I think it was a matter of logistics. Finding the right venue or whatever didn’t happen. So it’s definitely on the menu, let’s put it that way. Hors d’oeuvres!”

“How can you stop?” Richards says of touring with the Stones. “I think it has to be written in a different way, whatever the ending is.”

Fans can expect some surprises on the tour, which last year included live rarities like “She’s a Rainbow” and “Fool to Cry.” Richards has some ideas for songs he hopes to break out: “I’ve been thinking about it, but you sort of caught me there, because there are, but I’m not going to tell you! You understand my hesitation there.”

At 75, Richards says stepping onstage at a stadium gives him a feeling he’s yet to get tired of. “Not at all,” he says. It helps that the rest of the band is in a good place: “I mean, hey, how bad can it be? You get up there and do what you love to do, and fortunately so do millions of others. It’s not something to turn your nose up at, you know. And it’s what I do. It’s the way the band feels. You can only do this if everybody is absolutely on. And the fact that they all are is an incredible tribute to the lads. They just want to do it.”

The guitarist knows the band is making history with their longevity, and their legacy is no doubt a factor in why they are still touring. “I think it’s also, how can you stop?” he adds. “Because I think it has to be written in a different way, whatever the ending is.”

1) What he didn't say was "2019 - a tour and an album !". That would've been news.

2) It look to me like Mustique

3) It sounds like Ronnie, but there's not a Keith riff or even touch anywhere

I've long expressed the opinion that the reason for the years-long delay is: They have scads of good material in the can, but almost all of it sounds tooMickish (like this one) or too Keithish. They've simply decided to not release an album until they've got 12 tracks that both Mick and Keith stand behind 100%.

When will that happen? Possibly never. One of them might die. Then we'll get quite a few albums of one perfect Stones tune plus 11 more that lean either too much towards Mick or too much towards Keith.

(The possible exception to this is the country-ish rockabilly-ish americana album of covers Lonesome and Blue which I have long speculated about and which they could release at any time. It too I believe is in the can)
